Description

DESCRIPTION
MAGNETIC HYDROTALCITE COMPOSITE AND PRODUCTION METHOD
THEREOF
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a magnetic hydrotalcite composite which is useful as an adsorbent, electromagnetic wave absorbing agent or ultraviolet absorbing agent and a production method thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
Patent Document 1 discloses a method of synthesizing a hydrotalcite compound which can be used as an anion adsorbent by recycling steel slag which is industrial waste.
The hydrotalcite compound synthesized by this method is represented by the general formula [Ca2+a-xMxA103+blAy. When this hydrotalcite compound having this structure is calcined alone, the formed oxide agglomerates, thereby reducing activity. Since this compound has a single hydrotalcite structure, the type of anion able to be adsorbed is limited.
Non-patent Document 1 discloses a method of treating selenium with Green Rust (GR) and a method of forming a hydrotalcite compound by using MgO as a neutralizer. To treat selenium and a fluorine ion by this method, two different types of hydrotalcite particles suitable for these treatments are required, respectively.
Patent Document 2 discloses a method of synthesizing a cleaning agent by compounding a hydrotalcite compound on the surface of magnesium oxide and a method of treating a harmful substance by using the cleaning agent. The hydrotalcite compound synthesized by this method has the same disadvantage as above.
Non-patent Document 2 discloses the synthesis of a

2 Fe-based hydrotalcite compound and application thereof.
Since the particle synthesized by this method is a single-layer Fe-based hydrotalcite compound, it has the same disadvantage as above.
Patent Document 3 discloses a method of synthesizing a Co ( II ) Fe ( II I ) -LDH particle having low coercive force. The particle synthesized by this method is a Co(II)Fe(III)-LDH
particle and a precursor of a CoFe-based ferrite substance.
Since it has no CoFe ferrite structure, it cannot fully exhibit physical properties as a magnetic substance.
Patent Document 4 discloses a method of providing an ultraviolet absorbing function by introducing the anion of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulfonic acid (abbreviated as BP) between Mg-Al-NO3 type hydrotalcite layers. This method has a disadvantage that a waste liquid after exchange is colored deep yellow, whereby its treatment imposes a great burden on the environment. The method has another disadvantage that use of the particle is limited since the particle after exchange is tinged with deep yellow.
Patent Document 5 discloses a method of preparing a vinyl chloride-based resin composition for use in transparent products by mixing zinc-modified hydrotalcite and 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone with a resin. This method is used to provide an ultraviolet absorbing function to a resin by mixing zinc-modified hydrotalcite and 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone having an ultraviolet absorbing function. This method has a disadvantage that when time passes, an organic substance having an ultraviolet absorbing function such as 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone is decomposed gradually, thereby deteriorating the ultraviolet absorbing function.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic hydrotalcite composite which is useful in fields such as wastewater treatment, ultraviolet absorption, electromagnetic wave absorption and acid gas absorption as well as a production method thereof.
Hydrotalcite compounds have a disadvantage that when they are calcined, they agglomerate with the result of reduced activity. Since conventional hydrotalcite compounds have a single hydrotalcite structure, the type of an ion able to be adsorbed is limited.
The inventors of the present invention found that when a hydrotalcite compound is compounded with a ferrite compound, the agglomeration of the hydrotalcite compound can be prevented if it is calcined.

The peak strengths of the composite particles after the treatment dropped to 6.6% of the original strengths.
The results of X-ray diffraction analysis of the KW-300S and KW-500SH of Kyowa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
for comparison shown in Table 2 of the adsorption test are shown in Fig. 5. KW-300S and KW-500SH are 1.25Mg-Al-based CO3 type and 2Mg-Al-based CO3 type hydrotalcites, respectively.
The results of X-ray diffraction analysis of the particle before and after compounding after it was calcined at 550 C for 2 hours are shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. The result of X-ray diffraction analysis after exchange with the KMn04 solution is shown in Fig. 8. The peak of hydrotalcite and the peak of the ferrite substance were detected from the particle after exchange.
The magnetic hydrotalcite composite particle of the present invention has excellent adsorption capability. The pH value of the suspension of the particle is not less than 10, and it is conceivable that a heavy metal ion may cause a reaction with the surface of each particle and ion exchange may be carried out between the hydrotalcite layers of the inner layer. Since the ferrite particle of the outer layer has positive charge, an ion which is rarely reactive at a given pH, such as Cr2072- (or Cr0421 may be adsorbed by the ferrite particle of the outer layer or ion exchanged between the hydrotalcite layers of the inner layer. In the case of the hydrotalcite particle alone, when the particle is rehydrated after it adsorbs an ion such as Cr2072 (or Cr042 ), it re-elutes 5 ppm of Cr61-. The magnetic hydrotalcite composite particle does not elute Cr6+.
As shown in Table 1, the adsorption capability of each particle after compounding becomes higher than those of Comparative Examples. In the multi-element metal ion adsorption test, as shown in Table 2, the adsorption capability of the particle after compounding becomes high.
Meanwhile, the adsorption capabilities of KW-300S and KW-500SH of Kyowa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. are low, and the elution of large amounts of Al and Mg was observed.
The preparation of magnetic hydrotalcite composite particles which are suitable for use as an electromagnetic wave absorbing agent and an ultraviolet absorbing agent will be described in Examples 14 to 23.

30 mg of each composite particulate powder and 100 ppm of odor gas H2S, COS, CH3SH or CH2CH2 for measurement were put into a Tedlar bag [called "1", size (mm) of 150 x 250, commodity code WE50427] made of a fluroresin material and 25 having a capacity of 1 L and left at room temperature (26 C) for 5 minutes. Thereafter, the concentration of the gas in the Tedlar bag was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC-14B
of Shimadzu Corporation). The removal rate obtained by the following equation (4) was calculated from the obtained 30 result and shown in Table 6.
Removal rate (%) = gas concentration (ppm) before absorption - gas concentration (ppm) after absorption)/gas concentration (ppm) before absorption x 100 (4) Table 6 Item Hydrogen sulfide gas carbonyl sulfide gas methyl mercaptane gas ethylene gas Samples H2S COS

For example, it is effective for acid gases such as NH3 and H2S . A composite particle after exchange with KMn04, for example, the composite particle of Example 20 has an absorbing effect for a gas such as CH2CH2.
Further, since the particle of the present invention has the property of exchanging with an anion, when it is exchanged with an anion, a new function can be added to the composite particle of the present invention. For example, when it is exchanged with KBr03, a Br03- anion can be introduced between hydrotalcite layers. Since the Br03- anion has strong reducing property, it can be expected to be used as a wastewater treating agent containing H202, N,N-dimethy1-4-(phenyldiazenyl)benzenamine (C14H15N3) or 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt (C14H14N3Na03S, methyl orange).

When it is used as a catalyst, its recyclability is high. The magnetic hydrotalcite composite of the present invention can adsorb a plurality of ions with high efficiency.
According to the production method of the magnetic hydrotalcite composite of the present invention, by precipitating a ferrite substance on the surface of a hydrotalcite compound, agglomeration in the calcination step is suppressed, the surface activity of the hydrotalcite compound after calcination is improved, and recyclability can be improved when it is used as a catalyst.

Industrial Applicability The magnetic hydrotalcite composite of the present invention can be used as an adsorbent for harmful substances contained in soil, underground water or wastewater, electromagnetic wave absorbing agent or ultraviolet absorbing agent.
